in china that has now spread. the world held organization is on edge. at least four people have died and hundreds more are sick. there are concerns five times as many people could be infected. tonight chinese health officials say the illness which is a new strain of coronavirus, can be passed from person to person, stoking fears that it could be moving faster than it can be contained. extra health screening has been ordered at airports in china as well as airports across the u.s. experts say the virus started in a chinese city of wuhan, but it is now spreading across asia. ramy inocencio leads off our coverage tonight from ground zero of the outbreak in china. >> reporter: tonight the city of wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, is racing to contain the potential spread of a deadly new strain of coronavirus. and now a disturbing development. china today says it has confirmed cases of human-to- human transmission of the mystery illness. in one case, a hospital patient is said to have infected 14 medical workers.

airline workers are already doing temperature checks on some flights leaving wuhan, not allowing passengers to deplane without getting one. cbs news obtained this video showing health officials in wuhan in full hazmat gear at a treatment facility investigating the virus. the world health organization says an animal is probably the source of this new virus, and this now-closed seafood market is probably ground zero. this is as close as police will let us get. dr. anthony fauci from the national institutes of health says human-to-human transmission is a game changer. >> when you get sustained transmissibility from one person to another to another to another, then you have a more serious problem, because then that would allow for a much broader type of an outbreak. >> reporter: in the united states, the c.d.c. has deployed about 100 workers to airports in new york, los angeles, and san francisco to screen passengers arriving from infected regions. people here are getting ready to

make what's known as the world's biggest annual migration, making nearly three billion trips to celebrate chinese new year. and while the risk of a u.s. outbreak is still low, the c.d.c. says it is something they're watching very carefully. maurice? >> dubois: okay, ramy tonight in wuhan, china. breaking news now on the president's impeachment trial. the senate majority leader just released his proposed rules for the trial which the senate will debate tomorrow. this latest move by the senate's lead republican comes hours after the president's lawyers laid out their game plan for keeping him in office. ben tracy reports tonight from the white house. >> reporter: president trump visited the martin luther king jr., memorial today as his legal team previewed its strategy. in a more than 100-page pretrial brief, the president's lawyers called the came against him flimsy, a brazenly political act, and the result of a rigged process. >> we're achieving what no administration has ever achieved before, and what do i get out of it?

tell me? i get impeached. >> reporter: the president's defense notably does not deny that he pressured ukraine to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son hunter. but argues rather that democrats have failed to show president trump violated any laws. >> i can't respond to questions right now. >> reporter: the house managers who will prosecute the case against the president met on capitol hill today. in their own pretrial document, they call president trump the framers' worst nightmare come to life. late today senate majority leader mitch mcconnell released his proposed trial rules expected to be voted on tomorrow. each side will get 24 hours over two days to make their opening statements. that means senators may have to endure 12-hour sessions in a republican effort to fast track the trial. democrats are hoping to persuade at least four republicans to force the testimony of witnesses, such as white house chief of staff mick mulvaney and former national security adviser john bolton, who says he is willing to testify.

>> we are going to demand votes, yes or no, up or down, on the four witnesses we've requested and on the three sets of documents we requested. >> reporter: but senator schumer is not likely to get those witnesses, at least not right away. that's because senator mcconnell will not even consider the idea of allowing witnesses to testify until they get through these opening arguments and up to 16 hours of senators' questions. maurice. >> dubois: ben tracy at the white house tonight, thank you. hundreds of police were out in force as gun-rights supporters rallied outside of virginia's capitol. the tightened security came after more than a week of threats and violence and after the governor declared a state of emergency. jeff pegues reports tonight from richmond. >> reporter: 22,000 gun-rights supporters came out today, many armed to the teeth, some dressed in fatigues, others with handguns on their hips. >> i carry it with me every day. >> reporter: and rifles draped across their chests.

>> these people want to stand up and keep their guns because it's our right to do that and defend ourselves in a time of danger. >> reporter: thomas steele came here from west virginia. >> i actually brought two gun, but i brought smaller guns. i usually have an ak-47, but that's quite the scary rifle. i decided to bring out the .22 because nobody is shooting nothing today. >> reporter: governor ralph northam declared state of emergency which banned all weapons on capitol building grounds and brought with it extremely tight security. on capitol grounds, right in there behind this fence, this is where the state of emergency is, where you can't bring any weapons. just beyond the fence, a lot of guns. there are probably thousands of them out here, far outnumbering what law enforcement has. the extra security came following the arrest of three members of a white supremacist group threatening to come to the rally to cause a race war. but today's event ended peacefully.

gun control advocates had called for a counterprotest out here today, but in the end that was called off out of concerns that it could have led to confrontation. maurice? >> dubois: okay, jeff pegues in richmond tonight, thank you. tonight prince harry and his wife meghan are on their own. harry says he's taking a leap of faith by giving up his royal duties to lead a more peaceful life. charlie d'agata on what he's had to give up. >> reporter: prince harry attended an african investment summit this morning in what may be one of his last official royal engagements after the queen laid down strict instructions for harry and meghan's farewell from the royal family. farewell to the use of their royal titles. no his or her royal highness. farewell to public funding. farewell to harry's military titles awarded after serving two terms in afghanistan, a harder exit than anyone was expecting. >> once meghan and i were

married, we were excited. we were hopeful, and we were here to serve. for those reasons it brings me great sadness that it has come to this. >> reporter: a sadness he shared last night with the h.i.v. charity sentebale. >> i was born into this life. it was a great honor to serve my country and the queen. when i lost my mum 23 years ago, you took me under your wing. >> reporter: johnny hornby, the chairman of sentebale, a charity harry founded in tribute to his late mother diana. how much of this is about her legacy? >> i think he thinks quite deeply on some of these issues about what it would be that she would want him to do in certain circumstances. >> i will continue to be the same man who holds his country dear and dedicates his life to supporting the causes, charities, and community that are so important to me. we are taking a leap of faith, so thank you for giving the courage to take this next step.

>> reporter: tonight prince william and kate hosted their first solo reception on behalf of the queen here at buckingham palace. prince harry did not attend. he's reportedly already on his way to canada to meet up with meghan and archie. maurice? >> dubois: okay. charlie d'agata in london, thank you. americans honored the memory of martin luther king today. atlanta's ebenezer baptist church where dr. king once preached was packed for celebrations. 5,000 volunteers turned out for a day of service in philadelphia. and people marched along martin luther king, jr., boulevard in new orleans, but adriana diaz takes us to another street where a tribute to dr. king has divided a city. >> reporter: when kansas city's historic paseo boulevard was renamed for dr. king last year, reverend dr. bernard howard, jr., thought of the children who would see it. >> i was a young boy walking up and down this street. when i was exposed to people who were conscious of my struggles,

it was an inspiration to me. >> reporter: but it soon became a dream deferred. when the decision came down to remove his name, what was that like for you? >> pain, disappointment, betrayal. >> paseo is one of our oldest boulevards. >> reporter: kelly jones lives on the street and says many are attached to the name paseo. upset that all residents weren't consulted, her group "save the paseo" fought for a public vote. 65% of voters chose paseo. some may find it interesting that a black community would oppose the renaming. >> we're not opposing the renaming. we simply wanted to be heard. >> reporter: kansas city, missouri, is one of three big cities without a street named after dr. king. that isn't the reputation mayor quinton lucas wants. >> nobody wants to see a headline on the cbs news that

says, kansas city did this thing. we will recognize dr. king this year and long into the future. >> reporter: these signs will come down soon and the public is submitting new ideas for a tribut shakespeare talked about what's in a name. i think we learned from this that there can with a heck of a lot. >> reporter: especially when the name is martin luther king, jr. adriana diaz, cbs news, kansas city, missouri. >> dubois: well, you can circle these dates on your calendar. one year from today, the next presidential inauguration takes place, and in exactly two weeks, first votes of the democratic race will be cast in iowa where tonight there is no clear front- runner. ed o'keefe reports tonight on where things stand. >> reporter: they may be fierce rivals, but the candidates displayed political harmony today at martin luther king, jr., day events in south carolina. bernie sanders and elizabeth warren, who sparred last week over whether a woman can be elected president, walked arm in arm at an mlk day parade in columbia. >> we like mike! >> reporter: former new york mayor michael bloomberg marched in little rock, arkansas, and in

iowa, the rest of the candidates took turns addressing leaders at events in black and latino communities. >> let's not pretend that if and when we replace this president that everything will get better. >> reporter: nationwide, joe biden holds a commanding lead among black voters, the most loyal democratic voting bloc. >> to paraphrase dr. king, we have guided missiles, but we have misguided men leading this nation. >> reporter: he's also got a lead among seniors despite recent accusations that biden wants to make cuts to social security. >> time and time again joe biden has been clear in supporting cuts to social security. >> i have been a gigantic supporter of social security from the beginning. >> reporter: meanwhile, the "new york times" has taken the unusual step of endorsing two democrats for president, elizabeth warren and amy

klobuchar, but in a sign of their current focus, they're highlighting endorsements from newspapers here in iowa. maurice? >> dubois: ed o'keefe in des moines tonight. now some important medical news. new research shows a link between marijuana and heart risks. this could affect a lot of people. more than two million adults with cardiovascular disease say they have used marijuana. here's dr. tara narula on the new risks of smoking pot. >> reporter: 59-year-old juan jacques is vigilant about taking his heart medication. that's because four years ago he had a heart attack. >> they asked me the questions, do you know why you're here? i said, "i don't. i'm feeling chest pain and i was brought to the hospital." >> reporter: jacques occasionally smoked cigarettes, but he regularly smoked marijuana. his cardiologist says many users like jacques do not understand how marijuana can impact cardiac the health. a review of data found smoking marijuana is linked with increased heart rate and blood pressure, altered heart muscle

and blood vessels, and increased risk for abnormal heart rhythm. with 11 states now legalizing recreational marijuana and vaping cannabis products becoming more popular, doctors are sounding a note of caution. >> vaping increases the drug delivery of marijuana, and so we anticipate that the cardiovascular effects would also be enhanced. >> reporter: another troubling finding, marijuana can interfere with commonly used cardiac medication, including some drugs for blood pressure and cholesterol-lowering statins. it's recommended patients be screened for marijuana use, how much they use, how often, and about other drugs they use. maurice? >> dubois: dr. tara narula, thank you. there is still much more ahead on tonight's "cbs evening news." up next, australia pummeled by hail a day after enduring a gigantic dust storm. and later, a sailor's bravery helped battle racism in the navy. now he's receiving an honor once reserved for admirals and
